About Hi no Tori 2772: Ai no CosmoZone

Looking for background on Hi no Tori 2772: Ai no CosmoZone (火の鳥 ２７７２ 愛のコスモゾーン)? This adventure, drama and fantasy series by Tezuka Productions (1980) starts out like this. At its core: Phoenix 2772 sets off with twelve minutes without dialogue, much like a silent film, recalling the birth and education of Godo. In this brave new realm, children are born in test tubes and are raised by computers and robots.

Another thread: Godo learns the skills that will make him into a great pilot, assisted by the robotic wonder Olga. Everything that Godo needs is provided for him until he before long goes for training with his automaton companion. He soon realizes that the world is not what he expected...
